[GEDI] [PATCH v3 00/17] 64bit block-layer

Tue Dec 1 16:07:02 UTC 2020

Hi!

I'm sorry, I should have pinged it, or resend, or suggest to pull at least a half long ago :(

I've rebased it on master and make some fixes.

What to do next? I can just resend. But I'm afraid that Eric's careful audits may be out of date: time passed, there is no guarantee that callers are not changed. Really sorry :(
So r-b marks are not applicable as well, yes?

But if I just resend it with no r-bs, is it feasible to review/merge it in a finite time? So that audits of patches will not become outdated?

Any ideas?

I have an idea: instead of auditing each function callers, can we just make some good assumptions (like that the whole offset/bytes request being aligned to bs->request_alignement doesn't lay inside [0..INT64_MAX] region), check it once in bdrv_check_bytes_request() and assert in each function we convert to int64_t.

Then, if somewhere our assumption is wrong, we'll have a crash and fix the bug.
